i’ve made some changes to the loader.php to correctly add the stylesheet. We’re still in beta but i think that we’re going to see the light!
pietro28 is saying that his permalink structure changed. It can’t by simply installing bp.
I’m facing a problem about creating bp themes.
I’ve done my best to create a non intrusive way to style BuddyPress, only working on the site-wide css and images. Adding the css and images (that could be in a folder different to “images” folder) makes the trick: light, simple, immediate.
In this way i know that my themes will be always compatibles with the future svn or versions of BP.
But there is a problem: obviously WordPressMU will never recognize my themes as themes, and so i’m forced to add all the theme pages, and all the member theme pages i presume, although the member page is empty (i style everything in a site wide mode). and so i feel frustrated, having styled bp in the most “light” way, but forced to add tons of stuff to my .zip files.
Could you suggest me a better way to work on this? I only need that user add a site wide css file in its “css” folder, and my images in a “new images” (or similar) folder to change both home and member, but what’s the best way to distributing this to users?
I’m posting from my blackberry so someone can confirm, but I think Andy is saying that the functions.php in the BuddyPress Home theme is what hijacks the url and makes this happen? If I remember correctly? Sorry don’t have the source in front of me at the moment…
gogoplata, this is running a week old now. Is it resolved? I’m turning off the light until you switch it back on.
People let me say this clearly: BP DOES NOT CHANGE THE PERMALINK STRUCTURE OF ANY BLOG!
There is no instance of the global object $wp_rewrite in any bp code or any call to $wp_rewrite->set_permalink_structure()
Not in the member theme, not in the home theme and not in any bp plugin.
bp is not changing the permalink structure. The only thing bp does is hijack the word ‘blog’ and load the index.php template. That’s it.
@pietro28, what version of bp and wpmu are you using? Did you install wpmu in the directory mysite.com/blog ?
I need to be able to limit access to certain components, such as members & groups to only users who have logged in. Other than changing my the themes to do a check on logged in users which I don’t really want to do as this limits what I can display. For example I still want to be able to display the site wide activity widget but if a non-logged in user clicks on a link that takes them to a member or group area they are prompted to log in.
I have had a hunt around but do not see a a hook in Buddypress that does a security check like this. Am I missing something?
Thanks!
This thread has a solution. It turns off all the auto linking in the profile fields. Right now it’s either on or off.

Currently, new blog posts in my “site wide activity” more words than I’d like…I’d prefer for it to show maybe 10-15 words max for each new post.
Where does BuddyPress create the “excerpt”…and how can I edit/shorten it?
Thanks!
Any new user who signs up on my blog has access to all the BuddyPress widgets, including site wide activity, members, etc.
Is this standard or did I screw something up? If it’s normal, how could I allow only the site admin access to those widgets?
I hope I Make the deadline..
Just a sneak peak

Anyone else?

No it isn’t going to as of yet.
There is no direct link between a normal forum and BuddyPress. Perhaps the bbGroups plugin could be modified to handle this type of thing, but that’s just handing Burt more implied work to do. 
Good job getting everything synchronized though!
Could this be added in the Buddypress Settings, in site admin – possibly under “Base profile group name” field?
It would be nice to enter a name for each, and all places ie. ‘Members’ is mentioned it would be updated to chosen name.
Members could be named anything – Patrons, Users, Constituents, Associates, Individuals, People etc.
Groups could be Teams, Bands, Parties, Crowds, Communities, Gangs, Scenes etc.
A new install and still playing with it http://www.chatzooky.com
ooops
False alarm on my blank page sarga.
It was NOT connected to the bp-components; it was the super cache plugin since i moved directories.
The plugin uses a fixed path!
I only found that out by going through the code echoing a timestamp and exiting code block by block. Finally followed the culprit code to an advanced-cache include in wp-settings.
Oh well!
Looking forward to bp v1 with its auto upgrade.
After the site being down for a day or two, it is now back up and running!

Hi All,
I’m trying to pitch BuddyPress as a viable solution for some people I work with. Does anyone have some sample data/content available I could use to populate my working installation. I’m not pitching to techies, so I’m trying to provide them with the most complete example possible. Even something like the demo data on the BP demo site would be great.
Thanks Everyone!
You’re in luck I just had to do this myself, and here is how I did it.
I created a new php file that I wanted to use for the page and added this to the top of the file:
<?php
/*
Template Name: MY_TEMPLATE_NAME
*/
?>
you can make, MY_TEMPLATE_NAME, whatever, but be careful there are some reserved template names.
Save this file in the root directory of your home theme (i.e. wp-content/themes/buddypress-home) now under your admin blog write a new page (NOT POST), make the title relevant to what you want, but don’t put anything in the actual page.
Scroll down to the “Page Template” menu and when expanded you should see a drop down box with the “MY_TEMPLATE_NAME” as an option. choose that and now just copy down your permalink, and that is the direct link to your newly created page. SIMPLE! I also added in my side_bar to the page I created so that the navigation menu stayed put as I move through all of my pages.
thanks apeatling, but I can’t find that I must change in the BuddyPress home theme for get it
The ideal for not change my old permalink structure of Principal Blog is …
(Blog Id 1) in “/” not in “/blog/”
(Social Network) in “/socialnetwork/” not in “/”
This is only if you install the BuddyPress home theme. It should not do this if you just use your existing theme.
i think i found the mistake, i uploaded into the plugin folder. i am trying to upload it again now
thanks johnjamesjacoby.
I already tried that.
I go to Site Admin->Blogs
My main blog (id=1) have path “/” but in the momment that Buddypress is installed it force my permalink Structure to “/blog/” …
